Gathering of Old Men | Ernest J Gaines
6 posts | 13 read | 9 to read
Set on a Louisiana sugarcane plantation in the 1970s, A Gathering of Old Men is a powerful depiction of racial tensions arising over the death of a Cajun farmer at the hands of a black man. "Poignant, powerful, earthy...a novel of Southern racial confrontation in which a group of elderly black men band together against whites who seek vengeance for the murder of one of their own."-- "Booklist" "A fine novel...there is a denouement that will shock and move readers as much as it does the characters."-- "Philadelphia Inquirer"

dabbe I don't know how old your gorgeous pups are, but the way they're looking with their eyes in this pic fits the title of this book. Adorable! ❣️🐾❣️ 2y

dabbe @BkClubCare They are beautiful. ❣️ I hope I didn't insult you; I was focused on their eyes and how they looked like they were in “cahoots“, so to speak. If I did, I am truly sorry. 😔 2y
BkClubCare @dabbe - absolutely not, I took zero offense! All good 💓 Your comment reminded me of an interesting comment from one of the doggie daycare providers, “Copper looks like a Civil War General” - I am still trying to figure that out 🤣 old souls, expressive eyes, Griffs are special, all dogs are special 🤩 2y
dabbe @BkClubCare They are amazing. So adorably cute, yet so dignified and regal at the same time. Love their names, too! 🥰 2y

A portrayal of courage, friendship and determination in the face of racism and lawlessness. Just a genuinely good story with great characters.
